Let us quit the leafy arbor	A
And the torrent murmuring by	B
For the sun is in his harbor	A
Weary of the open sky	B
	-
Evening now unbinds the fetters	C
Fashioned by the glowing light	D
All that breathe are thankful debtors	C
To the harbinger of night	D
	-
Yet by some grave thoughts attended	E
Eve renews her calm career	F
For the day that now is ended	E
Is the longest of the year	F
	-
Dora sport as now thou sportest	E
On this platform light and free	G
Take thy bliss while longest shortest	E
Are indifferent to thee	G
	-
Who would check the happy feeling	H
That inspires the linnet's song	I
Who would stop the swallow wheeling	H
On her pinions swift and strong	I
	-
Yet at this impressive season	J
Words which tenderness can speak	K
From the truths of homely reason	J
Might exalt the loveliest cheek	K
	-
And while shades to shades succeeding	H
Steal the landscape from the sight	E
I would urge this moral pleading	H
Last forerunner of Good night	E
	-
Summer ebbs each day that follows	L
Is a reflux from on high	B
Tending to the darksome hollows	L
Where the frosts of winter lie	B
	-
He who governs the creation	J
In his providence assigned	E
Such a gradual declination	J
To the life of human kind	E
	-
Yet we mark it not fruits redden	J
Fresh flowers blow as flowers have blown	J
And the heart is loth to deaden	J
Hopes that she so long hath known	J
	-
Be thou wiser youthful Maiden	J
And when thy decline shall come	M
Let not dowers or boughs fruit laden	J
Hide the knowledge of thy doom	N
	-
Now even now ere wrapped in slumber	A
Fix thine eyes upon the sea	G
That absorbs time space and number	A
Look thou to Eternity	G
	-
Follow thou the flowing river	A
On whose breast are thither borne	J
All deceived and each deceiver	A
Through the gates of night and morn	J
	-
Through the year's successive portals	O
Through the bounds which many a star	A
Marks not mindless of frail mortals	O
When his light returns from far	A
	-
Thus when thou with Time hast travelled	E
Toward the mighty gulf of things	P
And the mazy stream unravelled	E
With thy best imaginings	P
	-
Think if thou on beauty leanest	E
Think how pitiful that stay	E
Did not virtue give the meanest	E
Charms superior to decay	E
	-
Duty like a strict preceptor	A
Sometimes frowns or seems to frown	J
Choose her thistle for thy sceptre	A
While youth's roses are thy crown	J
	-
Grasp it if thou shrink and tremble	Q
Fairest damsel of the green	J
Thou wilt lack the only symbol	Q
That proclaims a genuine queen	J
	-
And ensures those palms of honor	A
Which selected spirits wear	A
Bending low before the Donor	A
Lord of heaven's unchanging year	A
